I return! Interesting reviews. Yes, I am aware that both Cho Chang and Padma Patil are in Ravenclaw, it's not Slytherin against Gryffindor, it's random. Onward. ************************************************************************

The fourteen students were dropped off on Toad Island at midnight. The girls were permitted a thirty minute head start.

Harry approached Draco and extended a flashlight. Draco raised an eyebrow "They'll see those for miles Potter."

Harry furrowed his brow and turned off the flashlight as Snape and Minerva went back to Hogwarts.

Seamus walked up to Harry "So want to play exploding snap?"

Draco grimaced, readying himself "Are you kidding? We're going on a hunt."

Ron was shocked "But we're supposed to stay here for thirty minutes!"

Draco smiled "When have I ever done what I was supposed to do?"

Harry considered this, then shook his head vigorously. "No, we must stay here. It's the rules."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Tough. I'm going." Draco disappeared into the forest.

Seamus sighed "So you want to play exploding snap?"

"No!" was the collective response.

Seamus looked hurt "Fine, I'll go play solitaire, alone."

Draco sliced through the forest determinedly. He realized that he had reached the opposite side of the miniscule island as he shoved a shrub out of the way to reveal sand and one boat.

He walked to the boat cautiously and saw a note had been attached,

Dear Draco I left you this boat out of the goodness of my heart, since you'll never catch me anyway, I figured why not. Besides I kind of like you and don't want you eaten. Bye honey,
Hermione

Draco shook his head, and decided he should probably wait for the rest of his crew. No sooner had he thought this than the other boys came through the path he had carved. They all saw the boat and reacted with horror. Except Seamus, that is.

"Come on boys." Draco got into the wooded craft "I'm not sitting beside Finnigan."

Once the boys had crossed the lake the work began. "Okay, if I know Hermione and I think I do, she'll tell her troops to rest, somewhere safe tonight. But us, we are going to build gentlemen."

Neville furrowed his brow "What are we building?"

Draco gestured to the shoots of bamboo growing all around them "Bamboo cages."

This statement was met with utter confusion.

"To put the girls in."

"Oh."

Draco shook his head. It was gonna be a long night.

************************************************************************ The morning will be funnier, I promise. Bye bye.
